Basic questions: What kind, how heavy? I imagine short and stout for int. and sinking lines, with heavy flouro tippet (wire for blues)... I use a 10# bonefish leader for my floater and poppers for salmon on Puget Sound, usually about 12' long or so, but I imagine that may be too light for the Cape.

The date offers a primo tide, but we can only pray for bright skies and/or bunker. Flats behavior is already shifting to fall activity so we will need to be flexible depending on weather and what's happening on the flats at the time of our outing.

Most likely we will in fact be on the flats, but if the weather fails it will be best to have options in inlets, rips, surf and estuaries where the fall bounty of bait brings the fish to feed.

My logs indicate the likelihood of larger bunker 3-4" that time of year which are the very best for big fish action on the fly. The smaller "pea" bunker are fed upon by the swarm like popcorn, where the large juvies are eaten like chicken fingers, one at a time.

Again it will be a matter of tuning into what is happening depending on water temps, bait, fish movement and the usual dose of **** luck.
